    DMV Vehicle Inspections

    Metadata Updated: March 18, 2026

    April 1, 2025: data feeds from DMV are currently offline while the agency works to migrate reporting systems. The most recent data available is from December 2024. Open Data DC is working with DMV to restore data feeds as soon as possible.

    To get your vehicle inspected, you must drive it to the DC DMV Inspection Station and get in line with with the other cars. The vehicle inspection fee is not paid at the inspection station; instead, it is paid at the time of vehicle registration. Vehicles are inspected in the order they arrive during normal hours of operation. Or, you may make an appointment to have your vehicle inspected. Passenger vehicle inspection appointments are only available for vehicles from 1996 and newer. If your vehicle is a passenger vehicle, and 1996 and newer, click on the link below to schedule an appointment.
